Chapter 21 Too Late for Intimacies
Marianne doesn't understand why Laura doesn't want to tell Antonio about Reginaldo being a male escort, in her words."Daughter, you're lying to your mother, so you don't want your father to know?" Marianne folds her arms, "We'd better face Reggie with the truth. He's already a failure, there's no need to lie."Laura takes a deep breath, "Mom, what I told you about Reggie wearing new clothes is true. But telling Dad about this is the same as keeping quiet. Dad won't believe a word I say because of what I've done on that careless girl's birthday.""Miss Aline Mendonça, dear." Marianne complete with debauchery.The two ladies walk among the activity of porters, guests, and hotel maids. They go to Marianne's office. Unlike her husband's office, Marianne's contains feminine touches, such as flowers in vases and strawberry-colored walls."If you want, daughter, I'll tell your father that your husband is actually a male prostitute.""Thanks, Mom, but I'd rather hold that trump card." Laura

I didn't think you would call so soon.""Did you think I would take this long?" Reginaldo thinks this is funny."No, it just takes a few months to start a business, don't you think?""Well, I'll fill you in on the details after you leave. How about it? At the Parmesan Pizzeria, on me?""Could be, I'm starving. See you there!"Both say goodbye and hang up.Moments later, Reginaldo and Márcio meet at the Parmesan Pizzeria.

Márcio jokingly responds, "As for you, you were thinking about—""You better cut the immorality before you get fired."

Chapter 24 Was it a Threat?
Reginaldo returns from the pizzeria after closing the deal with Márcio. He walks through the foyer smiling as he remembers how many times Aline had looked at him...Aline...Reginaldo shakes his head, "This is not the time to fall in love, Reggie! Focus on your goal. She is the daughter of another influential family. Besides, if my incongruous wife's parents find out about me and her, they could destroy everything even though I don't love their daughter!"Reginaldo goes to the kitchen and finds it intact. No pots on the stove, no dirty dishes in the sink."Why did I think Laura would be back for dinner?"Reginaldo takes advantage of the empty house and goes up the stairs to the master suite. There, he removes all his clothes and moves permanently to the other room where he slept.After locking the door for fear of Laura attacking him at dawn, Reginaldo gets in his underwear and lies down, dreaming that he is swimming in the pool with Aline.******The next day, Laura is brewing the co

Chapter 25 Secret Hard to Keep
Marianne tries to slap Reginaldo, but he is faster and grabs her hand."Let go of me, you cheeky!" She struggles."You don't have the right to hit me. I'm not telling a lie! If only Laura didn't have a lover... she desires me, why didn't she look for me sooner?" Reginaldo lets go of her hand.Marianne rubs her hand on her blouse in disgust, "And why would I know the answer?""You're sure to talk to your daughter. She's sure to be whispering to you about it.""As you said yourself, they are secrets!" Marianne takes a deep breath and tries to be smart, "Now, if you hadn't denied one night of lovemaking with my daughter... how can you expect her to forget her lover if you don't fulfill your marital obligation?""What for? So the next day she can complain to her dad that I forced her?" Reginaldo extends his hand pointing outside."OK, the conversation is unpleasant. I'm going to withdraw!" She turns on her heel and leaves the Ferreira House.Reginaldo closes the door behind her, almost ca

Reginaldo gets up.The two friends switch places and George visualizes the ladies, "Oh, are you running away from those chicks?""I am. One of them can't see me here as she's seen me selling popsicles on the beach."George rolls his eyes, "Are you really going to take this seriously? Wouldn't it be better if she knew about your new role? So she even decides to buy a penthouse with you.""No, I want to stay low-key so my enemies think they can easily defeat me. I'll just remove the disguise at the appropriate time."George nods and cuts a slice of the strawberry pie he's been eating.Meanwhile, Carla and Aline order the waitress."Ah, Miss Mendonça, congratulations on your birthday." The waitress kindly declare

Chapter 27 Tell your mother
When George sees that Aline is heading towards his table and Reginaldo, he raises and lowers his eyebrows, signaling to Reginaldo that she is approaching.

Aline tries to see Reginaldo up close.Reginaldo takes advantage and gets up from his chair, going directly to the bathroom."A pleasure. Could I get your autograph?" George asks, barely disguising it.Aline frowns. She wanted to see his mate!"OK, do you have any papers?""I have the classic napkin." George takes a napkin from his table while Aline takes a pen from her purse.As she signs, Aline asks, "I think I've seen your friend from somewhere. Does he sell popsicles on the beach in Sunset Village?"George answers a little desperately, "No, no! He's a real estate agent.

A couple who was close to her got annoyed and walked away."So what's up, my daughter? I don't have all day." Marianne looks at her wristwatch."Are you going to meet your friends for shopping?" Laura speaks with annoyance."And what else can a rich woman do?" Marianne asks indifferently."Well, according to my dad, I'll have to work." Laura gets up, "In fact, I think I'd better see him before he thinks I've changed my mind."Marianne takes Laura's wrist, "Daughter, you promised to work at the hotel to be Eduardo's fake wife. But now that you're not marrying Eduardo anymore, you don't have to keep the deal."Laura gets more and more desperate to see that Marianne is already affirming things witho

Chapter 29 I'm No Longer Afraid
Laura arrived quietly at the house and found Reginaldo talking to Anestor. Fortunately, she didn't pick up anything compromising. She got to the part where Reginaldo asked about his father's water aerobics.However, if Reginaldo pronounced the phrase 'Send a kiss to my father', then Laura would be suspicious. Reginaldo had told the Ferreira family that his parents were dead.Therefore, Reginaldo, seeing that he was being watched, simply turned off his cell phone, "Laura, I didn't see you arrive."Laura doesn't really care, "Who is Anestor?""He is a friend.""How old is this friend of yours? Isn't water aerobics just for old people?" Laura helps herself to coffee."It's his father who needed it." Reginaldo's mind works fast."And I didn't even know you had such close friends."Reginaldo gets annoyed, "I'm not a hermit. I had more friends before I ran into you at the nightclub. In fact, these days I've been leaving the house more often to see them."Laura takes a sip and frowns, "You c

Marianne is bothered by Antônio's lack of cooperation. She wants to ease or solve a problem, but he insists on controversy and confusion!"Darling, why does that sour face when I mentioned Eduardo Casemiro?""Honey, I wouldn't be a businessman if I didn't use my brains. I know very well what you're up to. You're trying to flaunt this writer as the perfect candidate for our daughter.""And he's a perfect candidate! Stop being stubborn and scowling..." Marianne folds her arms."Well, these last few days I've been thinking. I think I'd better cancel the idea I had and leave our daughter single in the eyes of society."Marianne takes a deep breath, unhappy, "Man, why did you change your mind?""I don't want Laura and this guy to get carried away and think they can legitimately marry because I won't allow it!" Antonio growls."This is absurd!" Marianne revolts, "If you continue like this, Laura and Eduardo will secretly divorce and flee the country.""And I will search every corner of this
